X-Cart is integrated with U.S.P.S. carrier services via the U.S.P.S. addon and allows to communicate with USPS API in two possible ways to retrieve shipping rates:

Direct connection with USPS Web Tools Ecommerce APIs to retrieve the list of available U.S.P.S. delivery methods and calculate the rates charged for shipping ordered items to international customers and customers within the United States.

The addon calculates rates for orders shipped from the United States only. You just need to enter your USPS credentials to start using it.

USPS via Pitney Bowes API (since X-Cart 5.3.3 released)

With the X-Cart Pitney Bowes integration you’ll get:

competitive, discounted USPS pricing (savings up to 20% on retail USPS rates and up to 49% on the other major carriers);

automatic address verification;

daily shipping manifests to speed carrier processing;

a possibility to print shipping labels with ease and track USPS shipments from origin to delivery;
